Founder’s Note
Hello, I’m Guerlandy, the Founder and CEO of HairitEd. With over a decade of dedicated experience in educational settings, I've had the privilege of serving as both an assistant and a Lead Teacher. My professional journey has taken me through K0, K1, and K2 Inclusion Classrooms, as well as Center Based Sub Separate Classrooms. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree in Moderate Disabilities.
Throughout my extensive classroom experience, I identified a significant gap in accessible literacy resources for students of color. Additionally, I observed that many students struggled with self-confidence regarding their natural hair. As a passionate advocate for hair education and a devoted educator, I recognized an opportunity to bridge these two critical areas.
At HairitEd, our mission is to foster confidence in young learners by creating educational resources that resonate with their lived experiences. We believe that integrating hair education into children's learning experience can be an empowering way that allows them to embrace their identities and enhance their literacy skills simultaneously.
